Alcatel Unleashed

Hi expert,
I am doing a multicast lab and I can't make it work for a week now. here is topology

Server <---> ( SR 1) <---> (SR 2) <---> Client

server and client is VLC
routing protocol is OSPF, client can ping to server.
I can make it works on Cisco router (there is many tutorials), but for 7750 SR I have no luck.
Can any one help me on this?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi.

Can you share your configuration?

Here is Multicast configuration:
SR1:
7750SR_1>config>router>pim# info
interface "system"
exit
interface "to_SKYTEL_SR_2(1/1/1)"
exit
interface "IPTV_Test"
exit
rp
static
address 10.4.0.2
group-prefix 239.0.0.0/8
exit
exit
bsr-candidate
shutdown
exit
rp-candidate
shutdown
exit
exit
no shutdown
7750SR_1>config>router>igmp# info
ssm-translate
grp-range 239.0.0.0 239.255.255.255
source 10.4.0.2
exit
exit
interface "to_SKYTEL_SR_2(1/1/1)"
exit
interface "IPTV_Test"
exit
query-response-interval 1
no shutdown
7750SR_1>config>router>if# info
----------------------------------------------

SR2:

interface "to_Skytel7750SR_2"
exit
interface "To_IPTV_Client"
exit
rp

VLC Server:
Address address 10.4.0.2/25
Multicast: 239.255.12.42:1234
VLC Client:
Address 10.4.0.130/25

Hi,

All you need to do is this: Run pim on the link between SRs and eable pim on interface pointing to multicast server. Enable IGMP toward the client.

Server <-PIM-> ( SR 1) <-PIM-> (SR 2) <-IGMP-> Client

RP is not the source.

#rp
#static
#address 10.4.0.2

You do not need an RP if you are doing SSM-translation. IGMPv2 joins received from clients (*,G) will be translated to (SG) therefore the RP presence is not necessary.
